Quantico Parachute Club

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to gather info on the old Quantico Parachute Club. In the coming weeks and months, I'm going to try and get the club up and flying again. Any historical data out there would help to show the big wigs that we lost a treasured asset and it would be well worth it to bring it back. So far, I've discovered that (then) Maj PX Kelly was once a club member. He went on to become Commandant of the Marine Corps. Also, Col Ray Fox was once responsible for reserecting the club from near death back in the early 70's.

So anyone with any similar vignettes they would like to share, please post and share!

Mods- I'm not trying to cross post here. But please feel free to lock or move as necessary. :)

Thanks Rip! I'll be in touch as this thing gets moving. I'd like to have former members participate once we actually get airborne. Wouldn't it be awesome if Gen Kelly and Col Fox could come out and maybe even do a tandem on opening day? Not sure what their health situation is currently with them both in their eighties now.
